i'm a spiritual being having a human experience. humans are omnivores. i'm not going to limit my experience, OP, it is a great one. we are all part of a huge cycle and everything eats everything.

when i'm a hawk, i will eat meat. when i am some sorts of plant (tomato, say) i will eat meat (look it up). when i'm a cow, hopefully i will eat grass and some occasional bugs.

why don't you become a grass farmer and raise beef that isn't cruel--and do something to help the world OP?

and actually, i eat more than just the meat. i make the bones into that wonderful all-healing broth. i eat the vitamin dense organs too. and i mulch the gardens with the rest. it is all bueno.

are there cruel farmers and cruel factory workers? sure. i'm not in charge of them, and i try not to support them. but it doesn't mean there is something wrong with meat.

We are all spiritual beings, depends on how advanced we are. It's all about duality, Meat vs Vegetables, guess which one is the positive and the negative?

<--- interesting statement

I try to think along the lines of which food will carry a higher "vibration" per se...veggies vs. meat? This has helped in my choice of food over the last few years. If something carries a lower vibration (unnatural/unhealthy/hard for the body to process) and I then make it a part of my body...will it decrease or increase my bodies energetic state? Most of the time the vegetable wins the fight. I've been a vegetarian for a while now and still try to use this concept in food selection and I definitely feel a difference if I eat unhealthy for a day or two!

When I was eating meat, my body always seemed to spit it out, lick it didn't want any part of it.

The veggies, yeah I like to call it miracle food, as it resonates with my body well.
